right, i assumed you ran moused(8). so, basically here is what i do

1) run moused(8)

2) specify 'Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"' in my /etc/X11/XF86Config

3) run bthidd(8) on the console.

now i can control mouse pointer in both console and X with both (wired 
and wireless) mice.

thanks for the hcidump. it shows that phone sends both mouse and 
keyboard events.

thanks,
max
